I agree. I think it would be in VERY VERY poor taste to back out after you asked her and she accepted. It's just one date. Just don't lead her on during the date. Keep it light.

I'm going to address the FWB "suggestions" once and for all. Listen up, I'm only saying this once.

I don't really object to FWB situations. However, I am not physically attracted to this woman. She has made it clear she has a crush on me. Not an attraction, an all out crush. I think if I proceed with a FWB situation with this woman, knowing damn well she has actual romantic feelings for me, nothing but bad can happen. This girl does not deserve that drama for simply being bold and revealing her feelings for me. That is why I think the best approach is to be honest and end the whole thing here and now to avoid any heartbreak.

So to recap: I refuse to be a tacky a#$ and lead this girl onto a FWB when she has feelings for me. I have better taste than that.

Not quite sure you understand how FWB works. Step 1....you must be attracted to her.

Not wanting to boink her cuz you aren't attracted to her doesn't exactly make you a man of stellar character.

Since it's an all-out crush, just don't do it. And explain to her why. Briefly. "I don't want this to go anywhere and I know you're having feelings, and you're too cool a person to hurt like that. So I'm telling you that this is not going to happen and I wish you luck in the future."

Well I messaged her saying my sentiments and making clear that I can't return her feelings. She responds with a "trust me, I understand" message. God, I hope she took it as easy as that for real.

Excluding the ones who suggested FWB, thanks for the advice.

Seems like she's went through this a few times. I feel bad for her, I've been through similar. It's not a good feeling.

I got that vibe too. I hated doing it but better now when she has only invested a little initiative.

Dude, she never even went out with you. I'm pretty sure you didn't crush her.

The reason women for the most part don't bother to hit on men, you just let us down unless we look like a supermodel.
